I don’t have much to say here other than I love the fierce, magnificent alien bitch known as Tilda Swinton. Tilda made an appearance earlier this week at the annual Ebertfest Film Festival. Roger Ebert’s widow introduced her to an audience of 1,500 in the Virginia Theater (in Chicago) and they announced that Tilda was going to lead the group in a dance-along, presumably in remembrance of Roger Ebert. Here is the video:

What do I love? Everything. I love how she’s pulling off her Marine Haircut. I love how fearless she is about her dance moves. I love how genuinely excited she is. I love how very few celebrities would ever be caught doing anything like this, and Tilda is not only game, she does it with no affectation or pretense. The song is Barry White’s “You’re the First, the Last, My Everything”. It’s just… beautiful and silly and weird and delightful. I love it. Also: I’m pretty sure the camera pans to Tilda’s lover Sandro Kopp at several points. He’s beaming! He’s super-proud of her.
PS… This is how she will lead us all to her home planet. She will host a dance-along and we will conga to Tildatoid Zonk 12.

That’s awesome. Man, how much would Roger Ebert have loved that?
ha, awesome. she is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you for that! That just made my day.
Well. ~sniffle~ I’m laughing & crying at once. How wonderfully joyous of Tilda & Chaz! They swept people up in the spirit of the thing. It’s fabulous that Tilda’s boyfriend is so happy about it! And look at Chaz—how cool is she?!
No wonder Roger was wild about Chaz! I have fallen in love with her too. A lovely lady with a warm, golden heart. Roger must surely be beaming with happiness & pride.
From now on, when I’m cynical about love & how it usually turns to indifference, I’m going to remind myself of Roger & Chaz Ebert.
Thank you so much for posting this.

Nothing else to say @Escaped Convict. Perfect.
Exactly! Both ladies are amazing.
Super!
That was great. Tilda wasn’t a bad dancer.
Hey Kaiser, the Virginia is in Champaign, IL not Chicago. Gotta give us Downstaters our props.
I was just going to write the same thing!
Right? Champaign-Urbana Love… I take pride that I graduated from the same high school as Roger Ebert!
Just makes the whole idea of the staggering drawing power of Roger Ebert is that he has always been able to draw stars to his festival in the Illinois farm country. That’s respect.
Lead the way Tilda, lead the way!
She’s glorious. I love her even more now.
Tilda’s a bad ass bitch. What a lovely gesture for a lovely man.
melts my ice cold heart
I want to marry this headline.
That made me cry. Tilda is pure joy.
Every time someone’s posted this, I watch it, I tear up. And then I realized, why am I not dancing along instead? Isn’t that the point? If anyone asks, “Tilda made me do it.”
F***ing Love her. That is all.
Goopy Gwyn STFD…TILDA IS OFFICIALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!
my god, she even dances like Bowie in the ‘Let’s Dance’ video! LMAO!!!
this just made my L-I-F-E!!!
p.s.- loved Mrs. Ebert’s groovin’ moves too!
oh, what a pick me up of elation & joy! 😀
What a lovely, joyous way to celebrate the life and works of a wonderful man! 😀 Tilda in particular is always seen as a “serious” artist, so I especially love that she was totally willing to just let loose with Chaz and dance 🙂 Just love it.
She is so great! I just watched her in “We Need To Talk About Kevin” the other day and it was incredible.
Aww 🙂 She is awesome.
SHE’S 52!? I look older than she does, and she’s got several years on me. My jaw is going to hurt all day from where it just hit the floor.
Ok, she persists in being one of my girl crushes~I first saw her in “Burn After Reading”, and loved her~
Tilda is AWESOME! Love that woman!
now THATS a photoshoot!!!
Those pictures really freak me out.
The Virginia Theater is in Champaign, IL, not in Chicago. 🙂
Sublime.
Tilda=Goddess
